Aubrite meteorite

​

The achondrite(aubrite)meteorite is an extremely special meteorite, and is explained as follow

​

achondrite: A stony meteorite that lacks chondrules and originated on a differentiated parent body.

​

aubrite: Aubrites, named after the Aubres, France, fall of 1836, are enstatite achondrites. Most are breccias (Shallowater being a notable exception) containing igneous and impact-melted clasts. Like enstatite chondrites, aubrites have highly reduced mineralogy, but they probably do not come from the same parent asteroid as either EH or EL chondrites.
